For same you can follow react native firebase official document.

Here, are the steps for same-

**Steps**:

a) install the react native firebase app module- “**npm install --save @react-native-firebase/app**”

b) Go to firebase console and create new project-

f) After filling all required field click on Register app and download the `google-services.json` file and place it inside of your project at the following location: `/android/app/google-services.json`.

g) Last step is to configure firebase with android credentials-

First, add the `google-services` plugin as a dependency inside of your `/android/build.gradle` file:

```plaintext
buildscript {
  dependencies {
    // ... other dependencies
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.4.3'
    // Add me --- /\
  }
}
```

Lastly, execute the plugin by adding the following to your `/android/app/build.gradle` file:

```plaintext
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' // <- Add this line
```

Now, the firebase integration in your react native project is done. You can re-run your app and it will build successful.
